I really wish there was a way to run microG with graphene. I don’t want google binaries on my pixel at all if I can avoid it.

Till then, Calyxos with microG is privacy respecting but likely won’t resist feds trying to get at your data. If you’re just looking for strongly improved privacy and some moderately improved security, Calyx is pretty nice.

That’s wack as hell.

In my case, Medtronic does a lot to prevent inspection of how their apks work at all, encrypting and obfuscating the code to make open-source emulation extremely difficult.

Luckily, hackers don’t quit.

Imagine one of my medical apps refusing to run because of adb…

I really, really dislike the guy, but if he didn’t actually use imagery from the film… Does this suit actually have standing?

C’mon guys, cripes. What are we doing here, feeding lawyers for the sake of feeding lawyers??

First wall problems compounded by geometric constraints, fueling, magnetic & corresponding mechanical complexities, particularly over long periods of time where material fatigue sets in due to coils applying heavy, dynamic loading… there’s a lot against tokamaks.

They seem to impress people, and we could all use novel research into MHD. But @Blackdoomax@sh.itjust.works is kind of correct.

Shhhh THEY’LL HEAR YOU

Your point?

Unknown, I don’t want to run Google apps more than I have to. I only run photos and keyboard, both with network access completely blocked by the built-in firewall.

I used this at v4.0, everything worked great for getting both lin and win 7 clients to play ball except the win7 machines would eventually keep claiming the machine key had expired. It was sooo irritating.

CalyxOS just works, is completely deGoogled and has better battery life because less shit is running by itself in the background. If you need any Google apps, you can install them voluntarily via the Aurora store (a version of the play store that strips serial numbers etc from communications with Google’s play store servers).

All my banking apps and work apps function, though I couldn’t get Pokemon go to work.

Why the hatched ground plane instead of solid?

I guess you elected not to read the original question. I’m looking for something to support using my phone to access things like the gym and the subway, in a privacy respecting manner. If that’s not possible, I can continue with my regular methods.

Is it good shit or what

Neat.

I… Do? What about the other stuff that uses gPay?

I don’t need it instead of my credit card, but I don’t ride the train often enough to bring the NFC card along. Ideally it’d live on my phone for when I do need it.

The real issue is how tightly integrated with Google pay everything is. I’m simply looking for at least some of the features gpay has without using gpay.

If I could at least use my phone to NFC my gym as well as my train rides, I’d be very happy. Credit card payments, I don’t care as much.

I wanted NFC for payments if that were possible. I also need NFC for things like gym access, where it appears they’re using the NFC system to grant access. Adoption of that process unfortunately uses Google pay.

Want, vs need in a single question.

I think key to my privacy model is that I run microG, so most info isn’t going to Google anyway. Firefox+add-ons takes care of enough of the remaining trackers etc so that I feel comfortable.

This particular search is my attempt to regain a bit of the convenience I’ve lost in the process of gaining a lot of privacy; I’m ok with doing things the ‘slow’ way, but curious to see if there’s a way to get some modern nicities without losing much (ideally any) privacy.

Thanks for your response, I’ve gotten great feedback from everyone so far, unfortunately looks like the anti-pattern is particularly & purposefully strong here in the payment and NFC interaction realm.

Ok, thanks very much for this, I’ll look into this app.

I’ll go on the record acknowledging that inevitably someone is selling my records and habits, but key is knowing the data is siloed across a few different brokers. If someone wants my info, I have to hope adding a bit of a paywall across it will help a bit.

Correct, but unfortunately I’ve found myself less likely to lose my phone than my separate wallet 🤦
